Depression in Children from Single-Parent Families.
Huntley, Debra K.; And Others
Journal of Divorce, v10 n1-2 p153-61 Fall-Win 1986
Examined depression in 53 eldest children between 6 and 10 years old who were living in mother-headed one-parent families. Only gender of the child was a significant predictor of depression, with boys reporting significantly greater depressive symptomatology. Contrary to expectation, neither time since separation nor depression in the mother was significant. (Author/ABL)
